Red Dwarf, Series 1

Red Dwarf is not only one of the best British comedies of all time...it’s simply one of the best comedies humans have ever made. So many laughs, hardy laughs, laughs that emanate from deep in the gut. Red Dwarf is simply brilliant in its silliness.

Watched this every Wednesday night, @12 in the morning or 12:30, anyhow had to stay up late cause I could never handle having to miss one episode even if I had seen it before! Was worth being tired during classes at school, one of my top 3 British comedy programs! No one makes comedies like those beautiful British folk!

I really love this show. However, when they released "Red Dwarf Remastered" it was terrible. Happy to see that this version IS NOT the "remastered" version with the extra skutters and people which look totally bad. HOWEVER, some things have been changed in this iTunes version. For example, in episode 1 the funeral sounds were still changed from the original. In this iTunes version George's funeral does not make a "toilet flushing" sound when his ashes are launched into space. And the song he requested was originally "See ya later alligator" and that is not the song in the iTunes version.

I gave up after 10 minutes. The start was silly (but not in a clever way) and boring. I am glad I only bought one episode.

Red Dwarf is one of the most brilliant shows ever to come to the Sci-fi genre. It's outrageously funny and will not disappoint. It may be a little out of the ordinary but thats just part of the shows magic. The only bad thing about Red Dwarf is that the series and episodes are so short, plus you'll go around saying smeg to everyone. One of my all time favorite shows, trust me, you'll love it!

One of the best from across the pond. one of the best lines from this series "death isn't the handicap it use to be" .

I love Red Dwarf. One of the best sci-fi shows ever. Anyone know why the music was changed at George's funeral? Should have been " see ya later alligator."

Smegging brilliant!

You know, just when I’m thinking that I-Tunes is trying to take the title of ‘The MP3 Website of Mediocrity’ they suddenly turn around and do something smart (which is still too rare). Red Dwarf is one of the greatest (and longest running) science fiction comedies that ran from the late 80’s to the end of the 90’s. It’s also one of only a handful of Science Fiction Comedies and when you consider that all attempts at making a sci-fi comedy have met with dismal failure within the first season you’ll quickly realize that Red Dwarf is something of an oddity. The characters all unfold slowly for the first season but rapidly gain momentum after that with storylines and plot twists that are the stuff of legends. I only wish they kept the show going because it was really quite good. One word of advice though, you’ll really need to see the first few episodes of the first season before you’ll fully understand the subsequent seasons and shows.

I first saw this show when I was 8 and have watched every episode over and over since then (about 20 years). So glad I tunes has this. Now I have something to watch while on the treadmill. Yay!!!!
